Tony McManus and Julia Toaspern

The duo’s guitar treatments of traditional music is unique, exploring the harmonic possibilities of these old, and sometimes not so old, tunes. Julia’s violin effortlessly morphs into a fiddle as she weaves from Italian madrigal to Scottish reel. Julia’s songs go to the heart of love and loss, hope and survival and are infused with musical input from a wide and eclectic experience of musical life.
